SUMMARY:Writing Warm-Ups
DESCRIPTION:All of us have writing to do. Whether emails or short stories\, newsletters or resumes or blog posts\, we write and write and write. Except when we can’t get started.  \n\n\nOne of the best ways to get writing done and improve your writing is to do writing warm-ups. Short\, simple\, inventive writing prompts that stimulate your thinking and creativity\, that take you out of the habitual patterns of your writing\, that take you out of the ego headlock that has you thinking something has to be perfect or great or finished on the first try. \n\n\nWriting warm-ups change everything… for the good.  \n\n\nStart your day with 30 minutes of short writing prompts. Start your day with great energy and enthusiasm for doing more writing. Let someone else suggest a topic or question or idea. Whatever you write will be just right because it’s just a warm-up!

SUMMARY:Writing Warm-ups
DESCRIPTION:How many writing tasks are on your to-do list? From emails and resumes\, to newsletters\, blog posts and website content\, nearly everyone has writing to do. Writing that is needed so you can get visible and get hired. Too often\, we put off our writing tasks. We see them as drudgery. We don’t come to them feeling excited or energized. How can that kind of mindset lead to good writing?! \n\n\nThe best writing happens AFTER you have warmed up. Doing a few stretches. Waking up your writing muscles. \nMost writers need to get their writing voice warmed up\, they need to get the fears and doubts out of the way\, they need to get into gear rather than starting off cold and then trying to create a finished product on the first try. \n\n\nThe morning writing warm-up has interesting writing prompts to get you warmed up. You will be writing in a small group doing a few short stints. You will be surprised how fun and easy it is to get your writing mind in gear.  \nThis is a time to warm up. You can keep your writing private or share it if you want. No critics or critiques involved. Just a lively half hour to help you feel energized and ready to do YOUR writing.  \n\n\nJoin us!

SUMMARY:Improv meets Job Interview
DESCRIPTION:Improv has much to offer for interview prep. You have to think on your feet. You have to respond to unpredictable prompts. You may feel flustered and nervous. You pick yourself up\, take a breath\, and move on to the next scenario.  \nPerhaps the main difference between improv and an interview is that failure is welcomed in improv\, while you don’t get second chances in an interview! So\, why not get the rough spots out an interview-improv practice while improving your speed and ability to think on your feet. \nJoin us for a lively session! \n

SUMMARY:Finding your Ground: An Expressive Arts Workshop
DESCRIPTION:All of us get grabbed: someone challenges your opinion\, tells you that you’re wrong\, hurts your feelings\, bruises your ego\, undermines your efforts\, passes you over for a promotion\, asks a ridiculous out of left field interview questions\, puts you on the spot in the middle of a meeting\,.. \nWhen you have been grabbed\, it’s important to know what helps you regain composure\, clarity and ease\, so that you find your ground and  choose what to do and say. \nThe best way to shift your hard-wired reaction is to get familiar with what grabs you and practice being grounded in your body\, in your emotional being\, in your rational mind. \nThis visual art-movement workshop will help you discover ways to regain balance and confidence. Come with ideas about what grabs you and curiousity about how expressive arts can support you. You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy this!

SUMMARY:How to Brag with Authenticity!
DESCRIPTION:Interviews are the time to communicate what distinguishes you from other candidates. You need to have your brag on so you can spotlight your talents and achievements. You want employers to know what makes you the best hire. \nMany of us are not comfortable bragging. Maybe you are modest\, maybe you don’t think you have anything special to offer\, perhaps you feel shy tooting your own horn.  \nIf you don’t brag\, you may not get hired. Employers are looking for people who are confident and sure about what they offer. \nThis workshop will help you polish your bragging skills. You will learn ways to talk about yourself and show how you stand out and make a real difference in the workplace.

SUMMARY:Feeling Grounded: An Expressive Arts Workshop
DESCRIPTION:We live in a world that knocks us off-balance all the time. When we’re feeling unsettled or disrupted\, we can lose our sense of confidence or clarity. We may have trouble remembering words in conversations or performing well in interviews. We may forget how much substance we have to offer. We may lose touch with our inner strength. \nThis workshop is designed to hope you connect to your sense of substance and being grounded. Leave your perfectionist and critic at the door. Let go of the idea that you need to produce something beautiful or accurate. Arrive with curiosity\, a sketchpad and some pastels or colored pencils or markers or crayons. Then\, let yourself drop into a place of interest and imagination. You will be surprised by what you learn about yourself!

SUMMARY:Hard Skills\, Soft Skills
DESCRIPTION:In an interview\, WHAT you can do is as important as HOW you work with others. Employers want to hear you tell stories about your skillset\, meaning both your HARD SKILLS and SOFT SKILLS. \nThis workshop will help you learn how to tell strong interview stories that highlight your hard and soft skills. \nYou will learn how to avoid common mistakes when talking about your skills. Most of us have more ease talking about one type of skill\, which leads to off-balance interviewing. Some people fear that soft skills are not valuable; in fact\, soft skills rank highest in what employers are looking for in job candidates. Others have a tendency to talk in lots of numbers and statistics. Those stories are stiff and not very interesting. \nTo learn more\, come to the workshop. You will leave knowing how to highlight both your soft and hard skills.
